I bought this in distressed black and was very pleased with the product. It's very big, so take note of its dimensions when ordering. I had ordered it as an accent piece for a table, but it was a little too bulky for that. We live in Napa Valley, so I placed it in our guest house and filled it with various brochures for wineries, restaurants and things to do in the area. I like it even more than what I had originally intended to use it for.
